50 Times We Saw Our Life

A documentary photo series by Yusin
Photography by Yusin

You might have come here out of curiosity—wondering what a designer’s home looks like. Is it always tidy? Carefully styled? Filled with beautiful objects? You’re welcome to look for those things—we didn’t try to hide them.

But if you stay just a little longer, you might begin to notice something else: the step stools our kids use in the kitchen, the hand towel hanging slightly off, a small contraption left by our son on the sofa, the broken lamp we never replaced, a rug taken over by toys, the retired traffic light in the corner, or the table caught in the slant of a mirror.

Everything you see is real. Nothing was cleaned up. Nothing was rearranged. Yusin simply walked through the space and took photos—step by step, frame by frame. She didn’t try to “document our home.” She just pointed the camera at what was already there.

Each frame carries a trace of what it feels like to live in a space, not just decorate one.

At some point, you might spot a rabbit, jumping into the frame from our front yard. It wasn’t invited. It wasn’t planned. But it showed up—just like life does. And that’s the point.

These photos don’t try to explain. They’re not a lifestyle statement. They’re not “design.” They are simply how we live—things we use, choices we make, evidence that we were here.

You don’t need to understand photography. You don’t need to know if the chairs are rare or the lamp is limited edition. Just slow down. Look a little longer. Maybe you’ll start noticing the parts of your own home you’ve never really seen before.

We’re not telling you what life should look like.
We’re just quietly inviting you to look again.

你可能是出于一点好奇点进来的，想看看一个设计师的家到底是什么样子。是不是很整洁？是不是很有风格？用的是什么灯，挂了什么画？

这些你都可以看，我们也没有刻意藏起来。

但如果你愿意再多看几眼，也许会注意到一些别的东西：厨房里孩子们踩着的小脚凳，门边稍微歪着的擦手巾，哥哥留在沙发上的小发明，一盏坏了但一直没换的灯，被玩具占据的地毯，客厅角落那盏已经退休的交通灯，还有镜子里斜斜倒映出来的一张饭桌。

这些都是真实的。没有刻意打扫过，更没有布置过。
Yusin 拿着相机走一步拍一步，看什么就拍什么，还有一些是拍下之后才知道自己拍到了什么。因为，她不是在“拍我们的家”，她只是拍到了她看见的那一瞬。

每一张照片，都带着我们真实生活过的痕迹。

有一张前院的照片里，你可能会看到一只兔子突然跳进镜头。它并不是主角，只是碰巧闯了进来。但也正因为这个“不小心”，照片才有了真正的时间感。

这组照片不是某种风格展示，也不想解释什么。它们只是记录下了，我们日常生活的样子。那些已经被用旧的物品，每天要反复决定的小事，还有我们在这里生活的证据。

你不需要懂摄影，也不用知道那张椅子是不是限量款。你只需要放慢一点速度，看看你自己的家，是不是也有一些角落，一直都在，但你从来没有认真看过。

我们并不打算告诉你“生活该是什么样”。
我们只是想，轻轻地邀请你，再看一眼。
